New Year New Books

Every year I try to read as many books as possible, here are the ones I'm working through at the moment, all are good if different:

Total Church, S Timmis and T Chester. Looks at what church is and or should be, calls us back to a gospel centred and saturated community
Above all earthly powers, D Wells. Examination of postmodernism and the gospel, is very insightful and calls us to engage intelligently with our culture.
Going the Distance, P Brain. Is a book I try to re-read every couple of years, its about staying fit for a lifetime of ministry. Particularly useful at this time of year for examining my bad ministry habits and calls me on my messiah complex!

I also read some great books last year which I'd highly recommend:
The Because Approach, Andrew Baughan. Makes us think about how we reach the lost and 'do church'.
The Jesus Storybook Bible, Sally Lloyd Jones. Brilliant Biblical Theology Bible for kids which I have found refreshing in the way it points to Jesus with every story.
If You Could Ask God One Question, B Cooper and P Williams. Great evangelistic and training tool.
The Word Became Fresh, Dale Ralph Davis. Small book but invaluable for insights it brings and training it gives on dealing with Old Testament Narrative.
Why Men Hate Going to Church, D Burrows. Makes us think about the gender gap in our churches and how to reach men.
